Pros and cons

According to our robot vacuum expert

  • Thanks to a renewed battery system, this robot vacuum will vacuum up to 185 square meters before the battery is empty.
  • You control this robot vacuum via an app on your phone.
  • When the robot vacuum encounters a carpet or a rug, it automatically switches on the turbo mode.
  • The HEPA filter also makes this robot vacuum suitable for people with a dust allergy.
  • Thanks to the suction brush and rotating brush, this robot vacuum also removes pet hairs.
  • When the battery is empty, the robot returns to the charging dock to recharge, and then continues where it left off.
  • Due to its round shape, this robot vacuum comes close to the corners, but doesn't clean them completely.

Description

The iRobot Roomba 980 vacuums up to 185 square meters on 1 battery charge and lasts longer than most other Roomba robot vacuums. If the battery is empty while the robot isn't yet done with the cleaning program, it'll recharge and continue again when the battery is full. You can connect the robot to your phone via an app. You can configure the robot and keep an eye on the progress, wherever you are. Has the robot encountered a carpet or rug? The turbo mode automatically switches on. If you have large rooms in your house, prefer to control the robot via your mobile phone, and want a top-notch robot vacuum, then this is a good choice for you.

Good vacuum cleaner, but for a hefty price

  • Sound is great!
  • Picks up a lot of dirt, especially under the couch and bed
  • The boost on carpet works perfectly!
  • Charging station is very light, so the Roomba slides it to the side easily

The Roomba is great! The sofa we have (corner sofa) makes vacuuming the farthest corner quite difficult. But that's no obstacle for the Roomba! The same goes for under the bed. Because the Roomba is only about 9 cm high, it fits very easily under various furniture. Sound, mapping and boost are better than expected! If you have a carpet, laminate, rug combination, this one is very nice! It is also noticeable that the Roomba sucks up quite a lot of sand. Expensive, but complete!

Expensive vacuum cleaner, but does everything it's supposed

  • Extra suction power on mats/rugs
  • There can be a lot of dust in the collector
  • He can go under the couch
  • The vacuum cleaner is quite loud

For this we had a neato botvac that we were also very satisfied with. We deliberately chose this vacuum cleaner because it can go under the sofa. We were tired of always having to lay the magnetic strips correctly. We are convinced that this vacuum cleaner cleans the floor much better. We also don't have to clean the container as often. About every 4 days. We have 2 cats. It makes a lot of noise when vacuuming the mats, but it also cleans well. Almost all hair is gone after that. He does corners, but sometimes things get left behind. The app is also convenient to use.
